All Progressive Congress (APC) Rivers State has said they will not be contesting during the forth coming elections.  Statement released today by the State Chairman Hon Ojukaye Flag-Amachree reads :


"The All Progressive Congress Rivers State Chapter, wishes to inform all members of the party and the general public that the All Progressive Congress is not participating in the forthcoming illegal local government election scheduled to hold on Saturday 16th of June, 2018.

We stand by the election conducted on May 2015 by the RSIEC which our party candidates won overwhelmingly. Since the matter is still pending at both the supreme court and court of appeal on the illegal removal of the duly elected chairmen, we will not be participating in any other local government election until the matter is decided by the courts.

In view of the pending cases in court, our party is not participating in the forthcoming illegal local government election as the aftermath will be prejudicial, null and void.

I hereby urge all our members to go out for their normal businesses and disregard the information from RSIEC on the local government election and be hopeful that justice will prevail".
